Shields (Diablo II)

Shields provide different block percentages for different classes. The Druid, Necromancer and Sorceress have the lowest block chance, their base block being 20% with the worst shield. The Amazon, Assassin and Barbarian, being melee-classes have a higher block chance, 25%. The Paladin, master of using the shield, has the highest base block with a shield, 30%.

All shield block values differ by this amount. The Paladin will always get 10% higher block chance than a Druid if they both use the same shield.
